Dominions 5 Late-game Strategy: Conjuration

Ойындар

There comes a time when angry men with swords or dodgy elves on ponies just doesn't cut in anymore...usually about the point when smart old men or ancient giants work out how to set the battlefield on fire or some lizard works out how to poison the air.
When that happens, you need a late-game option, and today we talk about Conjuration. It's a path that above all, offers a path to magical diversification. It doesn't have one single trick that will end the game, but it does have more than a few tools that will help you bring new counters and threat vectors to the game.
Also it has Tarts. We talk about Tarts.

    One correction i need in this video. A few times i talk about boosting death. the Death hat is D5 so D3s need a staff and ring to get there. Just wanted that out there.

    Second one is that there is a long chain on healer not working on tarts below. That one I'll test to confirm but it does seem like recuperation is the way to go.

    Might have missed it, but couldn't find any mention of the Ancient Presence. Thoughts? It seems kinda similar to the Eater of the Dead, except it won't grow as big/independent and comes as a 25 gem unit rather than a 50 gem commander.

    The living air/fire/water/earth spells have the + from higher paths. So if you are W7 you get 7 elementals rather than 4, and have enough fatigue remaining for 2nd cast. This is most common as an option from elemental royalty, but some communion setups can therefore print elementals gem efficiently too. In particular having 14+ air or earth elementals on the field can be pretty significant as tramplers, and water elementals at that count under water are oppressive. Fire is a bit dangerous to own troops unless you resist it, but even that would be non-trivial. Air are probably the most effective with this strat because they fly, and with so many the odds that some will land in enemy mage lines and start trampling them early in the battle are decent. I also wouldn't underestimate sprites as an anti-thug or SC option. They are ranged so ignore defense/glamour/repel, their attack is magic, and it will completely overwhelm reinvig to cap a target on fatigue. Not amazing by themselves but can certainly help shut down an otherwise problematic SC/thug and they're pretty cheap to access if you have the paths.

But i think the presence of awake pretenders does show its indeed not all the losers of a ascencion war that gets showed into tartarus. Thats likely just the ones who made to much use of BVC's or cast astral corruption :D

    So.. anyway, another slightly more relevant point i had been considering. Is the large focus on Tartarians really worth it? I mean considering that there are a rather hard counter to undead SC's, namely a smack in the face with a flaming mace. And so i think the majority of your discount Titan builds could likely be beaten by around 10 points of PD, and a indie commander with 15 gems of gear.

    I don't actually like Tarts for independent operations against a prepared enemy. They're at their best when used in support of armies in my view, which is how I played them in my R'lyeh game most of the time (except for where I was confident that there were no Tart counters in situ) I'm also really not sure if they're as fragile as you say. They have multiple layers of defence on them, regen quickly, and can have some of the big SC spells up at a relative discount. I focus on them because they're a cost effective, fun way to harness diversity on survivable support chassis in the lategame. In some ways they're like MBTs. Use them against an enemy with no AT weapons, or cloak them in copious amounts of infantry and air cover and let them do their work. At least that's my view.

    @@PerunAU It can be that i missed the careful consideration part that was done before launching them. I just noticed then being send off in a way that almost begged to run face first into an undead counter. But you are of course right thats a lot harder to do when they are used as army support. And honestly, even as casters they are a good deal. I do think that alone and unsupported a lot of them are that fragile though. I mean specifically to being smacked for *3 damage before prot. And i guess also to a lesser degree against Dust to Dust. Though thats a pain to script, i have not really managed to make that work myself.
